1t is proposed to strengthen the referees
power to compel obedience to the rules
by adding to this rule definition in de-
tail of what absolute means. The
convention adjourned without being
able to come to decision on the matter,
but it will undoubtedly be satisfactorily
cleared up when the next meeting is
held. Another case in which smuggling
is likely to occur is the fair" In this
case the ball, having gone over the boun-
Diary into that part of the surrounding
territory where it is known as being in
touch, is brought back too the bound
airy and put into play. One of the men
on whose side the ball was put down in
touch holds it, and with his foot on the
boundary line throws it into the field at
right angles to the boundary. While
waiting for him to do this the men of
each side line up before one another in
front of him. Then the same sparring
and wrestling, and in some cases slug
ging, occur again. There is sometimes
temptation in very exciting game to
slug when an opponent tackles running
man with the ball. In this case it is the
object of the runner to pass the ball
back to one of his own side who should
be following, but the roughness of a
tackle is sometimes too much for play
ers temper. 1t never should be, how
ever -Nel0 York Sun

of block playing in it as possible. This
idea was at the bottom Of every modifi-
cation advocated in the playing rules
while was connected with the Yale
team. Now the prohibition of the drib-
bic is step in the right direction. At
ter touchdown has been made a goal
will be tried for, and in case it fails or
succeeds either the ball will be returned
to the middle of the field. according to
the rules of the game, and the side that
secured the touchdown will have to
prove by making another under like CON
dition that it was not through luck or
the misfortune of their adversaries, and
the losing side will have the opportunity
to recover from what may have been
bad luck
Another desirable change in the rules
is that which requires the opposing side
to keep at least ten feet away from the
man who is endeavoring to play punt
out. A punt-out is made when touch
down has been made in what is called
touch in goal; that is, the space back of
the goal line. When touchdown is
made in that rather indefinite and re-
mote space the player can give the ball
q punt kick under limitations described
in the rules, and if it is caught before
reaching the ground by one of his own
side, try for goal may be made from
that spot. The object of the opposing
side is to prevent the punt-out from be-
ing effective, and in the enthusiasm of
play they are apt to get so near to the
punter as to prevent him from kicking
at all. The distinction between a punt
and other kinds of kicks is this: A punt
is made by letting the ball drop from
the hands and kicking it before it
reaches the ground; a drop kick is made
by letting the ball fall to the ground and
kicking it the instant it rises on the re-
bound; place kick is made simply by
kicking the ball after it has been placed
on the ground, or held in the hands of a
PROSTATE player in the manner | spoke
of in talking of goal kicking.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
WHAT THEIR EFFECT WILL Be.
The Unworthy Practice of Drlbbling-Givc
MIN n Show at q Punt-out--A
Doubtful Change.


BY all dds the most prominent man
among tn. lovers and players of football
is Mr.. Walter Chauncey Camp, who
graduatedfrom Yale few years ago.
During his college course he was the
terror of Harvard and Princeton, not
only in football. but base ball as wen.
for he wasa good short stop and heavy
batter. III football, however, he really
distinguished himself. He is generally
credited with having made the inter
collegiate game what it is, and his spirit
and methods still characterize the play
of the boys at New Haven. Up to the
present day the rules under which inter-
collegiate games have been played have
been pretty much the result of his own
study and effort; but he is inclined to
disavow any responsibility for the
changes recently made at the meeting Of
the association; and to doubt the advisa-
bility of most of them. One or two of
the chanyes will make a radical differ
cnce inatle manner of the game, and Mr..
Camp appears to think that progress is
being made in the wrong direction.
From the beginning of his activity in
college football, that is to say, since ten
years ago, he has advocated steadily q
policy with regard to the game, and has
introduced many an innovation in order
to effect the object of his theories.
What these are can best be told as he
expressed them. He Is at present in the
employ Of o clock concern in this city,
but he maintains his interest in college
sports aid on occasion INDUCES in them
in the capacity of referee, or adviser to
his SUCCESSORS in Yale.
''Soms of the changes in the rules"
he said. 'are good and will be to the
decided benefit of the game; as to some
of the others, confess that l cannot see
what they are driving at The rule that
prohibits dribbling is certainly good; 1t
should have been made long ago. So
is the one allowing goal if the ball is
sent over the posts instead of between
them"

A simple Experiment in Inertia.

Here is very neat and clear explana-
ton of an important principle, given by
Popular Science Ne'os. fla moving force
is suddenly applied to body, an appre-
ciable interval of time intervenes before
it takes up the motion. and commences
itself to move. The length of time
varies with the weight of the object and
the strength of the force applied to it.
This property is known as inertia, and
can be shown by placing coin upon a
visiting card, and balancing it upon the
finger. BY sharply swapping the card
with the thumb and finger, it will be
struck away from the coin before the
Motion can act upon it, leaving it resting
alone on the tip of the finger. The blow
must be sharp and quick, or the expert.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1887-05-05

to remove the one at the bottom. If it
is slowly pulled the whole pile will come
with it, but if is quickly snatched away
the papers above it will remain in posi-
ton, owing to the time required for the
motion to be transmitted throughout the
entire pile.
Another experiment of this class is
performed as follows: Into the ends Of
a rod of wood-an old broomstick will
answer-stick two needles. Place two
glass tumblers on two chairs, and sup
port the stick between them, the needles
resting on the edge of the glasses. Now,
if the stick be struck a quick, heavy
blow in the middle with a poker, or any
heavy iron implement, it will be broken
in two without iniuring the glasses or
breaking the needles. In this case the
inertia of the mass of the stick is such
that it is crushed at the point struck be-
fore the motion can be transmitted to
the ends. Unless the blow is very sharp
and heavy, the experiment will fail; and
il might be well at first to substitute for
the glass tumblers some support of less
value

Mr.. Camp was referring, of course, to
smuggling. This feature of play is most
likely to occur in the scrimmage that &C
companies a snap back. or in the case of
fair. The snap back is that play that
follows after ball has been declared
down. Suppose player is running and
is tackled by one of the other side. If
the tackler can prevent the man from
running he has to cry, HEIDI and then
the man with the ball must cry, Down"
and the ball is given to the captain for a
snap back. The men line up, facing
each other on a line drawn from the ball
that intersects the boundary line at right
angles. The ball is set in motion gen
orally by the captain, though it may be
any other player, who holds it to the
ground with his foot and hand. While
waiting for the ball to get into play
again, the men on the opposing sides are
supposed TO let one another alone, but
1t rarely happens that they do not in
dulge in some more or less energetic
wrestling. the idea of each man being to
prevent his adversary from coming any
where near the ball when it is set in mo-
ton. And the wrestling that the men
in their excitement get into sometimes
degenerates into blows. But this is rare,
and oftentimes what appears to be slug
ging from the point of view of the spec
tator is nothing more than light sparring
that hurts and offepds none of those di-
fect1y c0ncerned in Il.

A DROP KICK.

But the most important change, If |
understand it, is in the rule that compels
a side having the ball down to force it
forward five yards in three successive
downs, or carry it back twenty, or sur
render the ball to the other side. 1t
seems to be an extreme rule, and one
that is liable to prove ineffective. 1t is
easy to see that side that resorts to the
carrying back of the ball in order to re-
tain possession of it must soon have it
clear across the field near their own goal,
an end wholly undesirable. | suppose
the object of the rule is still further to
prevent the block game. and it brings to
my mind curious fact in the history of
football regulations. The block game
has been cultivated to such a high de-
gree that other features of football were
almost disappearing. Any well-disci-
plined team having possession of the
ball could keep the game at practical
standstill for the first full half or second,
as the case might be. 1t was evident to
nearly all the members of the associa-
ton that a change was desirable, and
the problem was how to effect it. Pres
emily suggested that side that had
had the ball down three times without
making an advance of at least five yards
must carry it back ten yards or surren
der the ball to the other side. There
was not man who heard the suggestion
that did not laugh at it. 1t was called
all manner of things, absurd, impossible,
impracticable, not to be thought of, and
the like. But the day came after pa
tient argument when the modification
was adopted Just as l had proposed it,
and here they are now seeking to carry
it to the extreme. 1t is impossible to
tell beforehand how this rule will oper
ate"
Twill it not be likely to effect what
you desire. more open game? Will it
not absolutely prevent the block game,
inasmuch as side will more often be
willing to surrender the ball to their
opponents than retreat twenty yards?'
Suppose a side surrendered the ball
rather than take it back twenty yards;
the other side if anywhere near as skilful
would presently repeat the operation and
the game would be as thoroughly blocked
as it was under the old rules 1t doesn't
matter which side has the ball if both
pursue the blocking game. So | cannot
free myself from doubt as to the efficacy
of the change in this rule. Perhaps |
do not comprehend fully its purpose 1t
seems to me to involve possibly some
radical changes in the playing of the
game. AS for the other notifications
adopted by the convention. l do not
think that any of them will make the
game any different in the eyes of the
spectator, but they will help the referee
in keeping the sport free from certain
Objectionable features that sometimes
will creep in in spite of good discipline

Before going further will you please
explain what dribbling is?'
1t is . term to signify false try for
goal. When a touchdown has been
scored, as you understand the side scOr-
ing it is privileged to try to kick goal,
and the method of procedure is this: A
mark is made on the goal line at a point
exactly opposite to the spot where the
touchdown was made. Walking on a
line at, right angles to the goal line from
this mark the player may bring the ball
as far into the field as he chooses, and
to kick s. goal. The ordinary way is for
hand of one 2 his comrades, who lies
for this purpose fiat on the ground,
holding the ball Just off the field The
rule is that the ball is in play when it
has touched the ground, and therefore,
to allow for time and deliberate. essen
tial to good kick, the ball is held in
the hand. Now. then, you can see read
ny that If touchdown Is scored at q
considerable distance from the goal posts
it might bewholly useless to try for
goal Under the cid rule, whereby the
ball to score goal must go between the
PNSeot INV AaA OhV SCbS ~ VIC SA0S VI
the field the narrower becomes the space
through which the ball must be sent.
From this arose dribbling. and think
Yale must-te credited with inventing it.
We concluded to try it il occasion arose
in game with one of the smaller col
leges. The occasion came. and this is
what we did. A touchdown having
been scored away at the side of the field,
instead of trying to score a goal the ball
was kicked gently so that it rolled only
little way to'be still in reach of our
side beforeithe other side could get at it.
The scheme succeeded, our rushers got
the ball again, and in 3 moment forced
another touchdown. This time when
the ball was brought out it was nearer
the goal posts, but not yet near enough
to make it advisable to try. for goal, for
you see, a try for goal is almost sure
to deliver the ball into the hands Of the
adversaries. thus allowing them a kick
of that will send the ball into the middle
OF the field. So we tried the dribble
again and succeeded again in keeping
the ball in our possession. | think we
